Leaving aside the advantages of taking public transport to college, there are at times, or i should say quite often that i will be faced with unwanted circumstances that will make a person think of how pathetic ones life will be ... although sometimes it may no be true...
As like other Rapid KL bus users in KL, and specifically a loyal Rapid KL user(constantly using U73) as a means of transportation to and fro to college and back to OUG, I am really troubled with the time management and the punctuality of the bus. sometimes, without giving any notice, they will just skip a trip...so what is the big deal of it ? ..the problem which i m to point out here is that, a lot of my time is wasted!We would easilly need to wait up to 30mins, 40mins or sometimes even one hour just for the bus to get me to my college..with that time wasted, i can do pretty much of things, although i seldom get late to college,but at least i can take the time for some other better use... and time is also further wasted because it will take me around 1o mins to walk to where the bus stand is situated..seeing that my beg is always heavy, and to make things worst, there are no seats available in the bus stop, which means we will need to stand, how long ? until the bus comes lo...
To make things worst, when the bus is not punctual, passengers tend to get more and more each time due to the accumulation of passengers resulting from the skipping of a trip and stuff like that, a passenger like me, will need to stand in the bus all the way to college!..if standing is not a big deal, when we reach Old Klang Road, they are numerous... yes numerous and countless amount of foreigners rebut-ting to catch the bus,pushing here and there, squeezing here and there, banging here and there.. not to despise them or , but i just feel insecure surrounded by a sea of foreigners, it makes me feel as in i m the foreigner and they are the citizens of malaysia, couldnt believe what i ve said?.. take the opportunity to have a look at the situation then:) if they are all honest people,then its all fine and good, the problem is cases of pick pocketing is so so so common in the bus, and we will never know when they will target on us...and there are instanses where i kena bohong duit before, not by foreigners, but an old but smart looking ah pek..so, never judge them by their appearances..
sitting a bus has also allowed me to see, different kind of people with strange behaviours, which sometimes really get on my nerves when i see them..coming late, and not queuing, and to make things worst push their way up to the bus without caring u r beside them and have the possibility of banging on the side of the bus instead of getting up a bus..Up the bus i go, and further annoying scene will i see...some people,being so inconsiderate, putting their bags and stuff on the sit beside where they are sitting, leaving others to stand... and there are also people, who doesnt appreciate the seat,constantly looking for a better seat, and when someone gets down the bus, they will just fight for the better seat with those who are standing.how annoying can this be???...you wont know until u experience it..
After having a tiring day,a major problem exist again!jam,jam, and more jam ... and it is certainly not fun to be trap in the bus for soooooooo long ... which sometimes take me more than an hour to reach home. and when the weather is bad... woohoo.. i will be in deep trouble... for example, last thursday, it was raining so heavilly, that even an umbrella will not prevent me from getting wet, and worst still i didnt bring any...the rain started right after i get down the bus, how pathetic is that ya...running under a heavy rain...till a point that i get my self all soaked within just a couple of seconds... decided to take shelter at a mamak, but the rain is stilll so heavy...couldnt wait any longer... so i decided to get all drenched!... is not like i have a choice...walking under the heavy rain for 10 mins,my jacket all soaked with rain water, my shoes and socks all wet, and its a new shoe!...due to the flood, and the water level was pretty high...and here comes an inconsiderate driver..... vrooommm past the flooded street... and guess who kena? ... me of course....at that moment,nothing for me is dry ... All wet, and my beg gets heavier and heavier, not because of the books ,but because of the rain water....sometimes it may be fun to walk under the rain, but when the rain is soooooooo out of control...i will not like to walk under it ... at that moment, i couldnt help but to think that .. wow am i that pathetic.. pathetic in the sense that people will not even care a damn about my existence on the street, drenched with rain water...
i'm suppose to write this post right aftet the incident on that day, but i was too tired ....having all said,my life is still good ... just that how pathetic a bus passenger can be, no one knows until they have actually experience it..
